I also had light spotting around 10 weeks, and went in that day to see my doctor. He told me everything was fine and the baby still had a heartbeat, but that I should take it easy that day, and that I could resume normal activities the next day.

As long as it is light, you should be ok, but you should probably talk to your doctor, just in case. You can call his/her office and speak to a nurse about it without going in, they will let you know if you need to be seen and be able to give you advice.
